The mission of Deep West Video is to tell first-hand stories from the rural West that are rooted in the values of life on the land.
Since 2000, the Western Folklife Center has been working with people from throughout the rural west to produce short videos and slide shows about their lives on the land. Using the tools of digital communication, these home-made productions are simple yet elegant; they are not glossy and commercial, but from the heart. Meet the Filmmakers.
From its beginning as the Ranch Communications program, Deep West Video was born in 2005. Some videos have been selected for sale in the Western Folklife Center online Gift Shop.
